Location of some of the major research stations in the Arctic. A number of governments maintain permanent research stations in the Arctic. Also known as Arctic bases, polar stations or ice stations, these bases are widely distributed across the northern polar region of Earth. Historically few research stations have been permanent. Most of them ...

Himadri is India's first permanent Arctic research station [1] located at Spitsbergen, Svalbard, Norway. It is located at the International Arctic Research base, Ny-Ålesund. It was inaugurated on the 1st of July, 2008 by the Minister of Earth Sciences. [2] It was set up during India's second Arctic expedition in June 2008. [3]
The Northeast Science Station is used as a year-round base for international research in arctic biology, geophysics, and atmospheric physics. The station also houses the administration of the Pleistocene Park, a local experimental wildlife preserve of 160 km 2. Named after Russian explorer Jan Czerski, Chersky is sited on frozen Pleistocene carbon.
The station was established by the Polar Research Institute of China in 2003. [1] [2] [3] Scientists at the station conducted research into the Aurora Borealis, microbes in the ice-pack, glacier monitoring, arctic biogeochemistry, and atmospheric research. [1] [4] [5] Concerns have been raised about potential dual use of the station. [6] [7]
A research station is a facility that is built for the purpose of conducting scientific research. There are also many types of research stations including: biological field stations, space stations etc. [2] Research station sites might include remote areas of the world, oceans, as well as outer space, such as the International Space Station.
